Commercial Description:
Deep Amber red color, with a fragrant malt aroma. Flavorful notes of rich caramelized malt and noble hop flavors harmonize on the palate leading to a crisp clean finish. Named after one of Cleveland's most respected safety directors, who frequented the brewpub's bar during his tenure from 1935-1941 and, according to popular legend, was responsible for the bullet holes still evident today.

Brewed in the USA....... Courtesy of The Capt, thanks Mark !! Pours a copper color with a medium foamy head. Aroma is of caramel, sweet malts and toffee. Taste of biscuits, nuts and caramel . This Vienna style is clean, sweet and very enjoyable !!!

Deep amber with thin off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt & light spice. Pretty much the same in the taste with a mild dry finish. Perhaps a little thin but overall pretty good.

Perfect color for style, nice head, good flavor. Much too hppy for a true Vienna Lager. The hops overpower the malt. Still a very good beer, just not great for the style.

72oz growler from brewpub. nose is good roasty, biscuity malt with hint of aromatic savory spice. malt forward without being too sweet, subtle hopping does the trick. translucent dark amber with good carb and bitter lacing. some fruitiness shines through in finish.

Nice copper like pour, with a small light beige color head. Nice malt smell, and taste with a hint of caramel and hops. Well done beer.

Bottle. Pours a reddish orange with a thick creamy head. Aroma is malty, almost orange scented. Tastes of wood, pine, with a sharp hop bite that fades to a caramelly aftertaste. A well balanced beer.

I grew up near the GLBC so I am very familiar with their products. I had Eliot Ness for the first time at a recent wedding that had a variety of GL beers. I enjoyed it the most out of what was presented. I nice smooth taste to it.
